At the southernmost end of Tangshan Mountain Valley, beneath a small waterfall.
Chen Mu stood by the pool's edge, several black smoke streams darting like pythons beneath the water.
Over a dozen silver-scaled fish, each about a meter long, were swiftly engulfed and devoured by the black smoke.
Feeling the addition of more than a dozen Ghosts inside the Five Ghosts Bag, Chen Mu's face beamed with a smile.
Months ago, Chen Mu had implanted the United Heart Gu into the silver-scaled fish at the Tangshan Institute, using them to cultivate the Netherworld Worms, and today was the harvest day.
Excluding those that failed to transform and those not yet mature, this time yielded a total harvest of 2,321 Ghosts.
The more Ghosts he held, the more powerful the Candle Dragon Transformation would be, which gave him greater peace of mind.
"In just a few months, the number of Ghosts increased by one-tenth."
"If I raise a few more batches..."
"Hehehe!"
...
The next day.
